CPF committs to end IUU fishing across Asian seas

The food giant vowed to collaborate with raw material suppliers in the region to implement sustainable practices.

Thai food giant Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF) pledged to end illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing in its supply chain, and to convince suppliers across the region to undertake sustainable practices in sourcing, traceability and labor.

CPF previously announced the target to implement 100 percent auditing of critical suppliers on sustainability, encouraging fishmeal suppliers to develop sustainability in the supply chain as well as at the origin of raw material.

In 2019, CPF anticipates that the sourcing of fishmeal in Vietnam, India, and the Philippines operations will partially come from certified fishmeal factories under the International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organization Responsible Supply standard (IFFO RS).

At present, 100 percent of fishmeal used in its operation in Thailand is already certified IFFO RS and totally come from the by-product of fish-processing plants.
